Consult With MD: First and foremost, always consult with the prescribing md before making any changes to your medication regimen. Paxil (generic paroxetine) is well known to cause problems when tapering. One may experience anxiety, insomnia, and flu-like symptoms (known as discontinuation syndrome) when tapering. The key to avoid such problems is to taper slowly and to work closely with one's md. Good luck.
